Well, folks, today it's actually something savory! Yes, it's true. I do eat real food! And, I am working on savory recipes... as much as I'd be happy to make sweets and baked goods most of the day.This is Sweet Potato Basil Quiche. I use yellow-flesh sweet potatoes in the base, along with white beans or tofu (I'm testing both versions). Our family prefers the white bean version, even though its consistency tends to be softer and a little less set as a quiche. For cooking ease and speedy preparation (this is key with two kidlets!) I use Wholly Wholesome's whole-wheat pie crust (I'd love to try the spelt crusts, but I haven't seen them in our store yet... anyone try the spelt yet?). Since the filling requires sauteeing some veggies and then pureeing the entire mix in a food processor, the prepared crust truly helps with clean-up and overall preparation time.
As with many of my recent posts, yes, this is a new recipe. I fully realize that it's not much fun for you all to see my new recipe posts and not be able to make the dishes yourself, simply because my new cookbook is not near being released. So, I mentioned in the comments of a previous post that I will soon post a new recipe - AND, here's the best part - I'm going to let YOU all vote to choose the one to post! So, stay tuned for the choices soon!
this looks very yummy and i would be interested in getting your recipe.
ReplyDeleteooh so exciting! this looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful. I hope the cookbook is going well!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I recently made my first quiche ever (vegan or not) and now I'm hooked. I use Wholly Wholesome crusts too...so much easier than making me own with three kidlets...I can't wait until my oldest decides to make crusts himself.
ReplyDeleteLooks very filling and satisfying.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm voting for this one already! I LOVE sweet potatoes and don't know if I can wait for the new book to try it (gnawing fingernails...)
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so tasty and hearty - yum!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! I'm super excited for a new recipe and to even have a say in choosing it!
ReplyDeleteThis would be my number one choice for sure!!! I love anything sweet potato!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I only wish my hubby liked sweet potatoes as much as I do--but as it is I go around slightly orange tinted, so maybe it's better that we don't consume them all the time!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to vote! I've never thought of incoorporating the magial sweet potatoe into a quiche-sounds pretty neat! :)
ReplyDeleteWow that looks so good! :D
ReplyDeleteLooks great Dreena!! I'm so anticipating your next cookbook - any hint on when we can expect it? p.s. I am LIVING off your super charge me cookies from ED+BV...they are absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to know there will be a quiche recipe that does not use eggs. I am looking forward to it!! Thanks
